This morning we got an early start to London and purchased our Boat Train tickets for Calais. Reading "London, Dover, Calais" on the tickets made us think of "A Tail of Two Cities" Did some shopping in London. A darling dress and coat for Carol Ann, and some linen tea towels and a tea cloth for various people. Did not wish to buy too much in London as we may see other things in Paris, Rome and Switzerland. Visited the Royal Academy of Arts and saw the Sir Edwin Laudseer exhibition (1802-1873) Very fine-wide variety of subjects- all skillfully executed with a precision of detail. Saw the new Am. Embassy that the British term a monstrosity. not bad. Got some addresses of hotels in Rome from Catholic Travel Bureau. Ate at Palonio's Buckingham Rd, very fine meal.
